Mas de Libian - Bout d'Zen 2019
Mas de Libian is located in Saint-Marcel-d'Ardèche on the right bank of the Rhône, in Ardèche. It has belonged to the Thibon family since 1670, a family estate passed down from generation to generation. The 25-hectare vineyard has always been cultivated organically, and the vineyard is certified biodynamic. The property also consists of 8 hectares of olive trees, cereals, hay, garden, bees ... Since September 2016, Aurélien, the son of one of the current owners, has also settled in Libian.
Bout d´Z*n is a blend of Grenache (75%) and Syrah (25%). Harvesting is entirely manual with strict sorting on the plot. During vinification, the bunches are destemmed and lightly crushed and then the grape varieties are blended in the vat. Maceration lasts 15 days, with some punching down. The wine is then pressed and aged for 9 months, in foudres for 30% of the wine.
Grape varieties: 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah
